Ironically, I’ve just started asking LLMs to summarize paywalled content, and if it doesn’t answer my question I’ll check web archives or ask it for the full articles text.

PCIe issues are only really a thing with BCLK overclocking on systems that lack a secondary external clock generator. BCLK overclocking is a pretty uncommon practice that isn’t practical for day to day usage.

With the hacker comment, in fairness the weakest link in a lot of orgs is often the human one. Ignoring obvious stuff like phishing links, people can be disillusioned by their employer or their government through propaganda and other campai

In fairness, the GT 730 will reach 10 years old in only 6 more months and loses performance wise to even older laptop iGPUs by a decent margin. The card alone is years past the age range GPUs “typically fail”, even Windows has long dropped

Blocks of numbers moving from mobile to voip, sometimes things aren’t instantly updated in databases and might take a little bit before that eventually happens.

This isn’t something casually identified with flashy software solutions or APIs, it’s more of a relationships with carriers and other companies in the telco space sorta thing. It gets even more fun when you start looking in to MO and MT on

A lot of this land and property is privately owned by the royal family but leased to the government, I’m not exactly versed in UK law; but a governmental attempt to seize a private citizens land seems like it wouldn’t be the smoothest thing

At my current company we’re in an awkward situation with python 2.7.1 and 2.7.5, I’ve found that a easy solution to circular dependencies caused by the new resolver is installing pip==20.2.4 and an older setuptools (I don’t have this versio

The situation exists entirely because Google created it, they designed a HAL (hardware abstraction layer) with the intention of letting device manufacturers design devices while skirting GPLv2 requirements. https://source.android
